Guild Wars 2

Please consider clawing back some of the changes to this event; It is my favorite event in the game; but its more than doubled the time it takes to complete now; to someplace between an hour and 90 minutes. I know because I run through 3 Food buffs every time; (soup for the condition damage.)

And every time I do the event I hear folks predicting the demise of the event; and I dont blame them; players are soon enough going to realize they could spend their time much more efficently whether in terms of loot or exp, or what have you.

I think their right, I think unchanged the event will basically die, I think that would be a shame, after all Dragons are the Biggest Baddies in the Lore. C.

Wait…are you saying it takes you guys an hour to do ol JorLagg? O_O That’s honestly the first I’ve ever heard of such a thing….what server are you on? We did it not long ago, took about 20 mins tops I think.

Like I said the patch is quite new, no more than a say 10 days old; try it; I think you’ll find its not just our being sad over at Stormbluff Isle. They’ve massively upped the number of champions. I personally got 29 Yesterday and I was not trying to farm them I spent alot of time on the Icesheet, spamming water and rezzing folks.

If it takes an hour you are quite clearly doing something wrong. A good hint would be to make sure the Golems get to the dragon at phase 2.

I have tried it, I did it about a half hour before you posted that. Sounds like what lordkrall said, those golems aren’t getting to the dragon in time, and also you guys might be trying to melee the ice wall instead of run bombs/shoot rockets at it as intended on phase 1. I’ll try to guest over to your server soon and see what’s up, maybe help out as much as I can. We’re not saying you guys need to “l2p” but something is missing in your tactics if it takes that long.

The problem is it regens halfway in the fight, I’ve heard this was not intended so it might be fixed soon.

Fergussons crossing takes about an hour as well, but then it always has
and the last time i did it, the champions respawned way to fast for players to allow the golems time to get to the dragons.

Yea we have noticed that, and the greater number, or quicker respawn of Champions; As I noted in my first post the time to complete has more than doubled from around 30 min to over 60 in just the last couple weeks; the change was quite noticable and drew a great deal of comment in chat.

They say they fixed that today.
